sexual flashbacks she continued to have. She had been replaying that night she had shared with the twins, Remy and Kane, in her head on a daily basis.
    The moment her fingers touched the handle of her office door, all the happy daydreaming abruptly ceased. The smile drifted from her lips. For some odd reason, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Something was wrong, and she hadn’t even opened her office door yet. She gently turned the knob, relieved to realize it was still locked like she had left it the night before. She inspected the doorknob closely, checking to see if it had been jimmied in some way. There was no indication that someone had tried to pry her door open.
    That should have eased some of May’s concerns, but it didn’t. Not in the least.
    After retrieving her keys from her handbag, she unlocked her door and slowly entered. May took a meticulous look around her office, her gaze scanning over every surface. She could tell nothing had been disturbed, and yet she knew without a doubt someone had been in her office.
    May stepped back into the hallway, returning to the receptionist’s desk. “Carol, were you the first one in this morning?” May knew that Carol was usually at the office early to unlock the front door, turn off the alarm, and get the office ready for another day with clients.
    Carol smiled and answered, “Yes, Ms. Showers.”
    May scanned the open area, not really looking for anything in particular.
    “Ms. Showers, is there something wrong?”
    “This is going to sound crazy, but was the alarm on when you came in?”
    Carol nodded. “Yes, ma’am. I’m usually the first to arrive, unless there’s an early-morning emergency appointment. The look on your face is making me nervous.”
    May shook her head. “I’m certain someone was in my office, even though my door was locked.” May watched as Carol became flustered.
    “Ms. Showers, I know the rules between you and the other therapists. No one enters another partner’s office without verbal confirmation unless the reason falls under one listed in the agreement contract you all signed when you teamed up. No one has been in your office.” Carol reached for the phone. “Do you want me to call the building security?”
    May thought about it for a few moments. She had something better than building security. “No, Carol. Don’t worry about it.”
    May didn’t give Carol time to respond. She walked back into her office and closed the door behind her. That’s when she smelled it. It was faint, but she caught a whiff of…it was the lingering scent of expensive male cologne, but it wasn’t one she recognized.
    “I knew it!” she mumbled. May hurriedly made her way over to her desk, picked up her phone, and punched in seven digits.
    “What’s wrong, May-day?” the Irish-brogue-laced voice answered.
    She smiled. They always answered on the first ring. “You always know when something is wrong.” She let out a nervous laugh.
    “Sweetheart, it’s eight in the morning. You never call this early unless something is wrong. Now tell me what’s wrong with my favorite therapist.”
    May sighed. “Someone has been in my office. Nothing has been disturbed. My door wasn’t pried open. The alarm had been set. But I know someone has been in my office, Orin. I smelled a faint hint of cologne, and no one here wears that scent. I’ve never smelled it before.”
    “Shit!”
    “What? Care to share with the class?” May was able to hear a muffled conversation, as if Orin was trying to cover the mouthpiece of his phone. She knew he could only be talking to his partner, Trevor. Even after years of knowing and working with the pair, they still treated her like a fragile little sister.
    “I knew this case would come back to bite us all in the ass!” Orin said with irritation in his voice.
    May was dumbfounded for a moment. She racked her brain, trying to figure out what case he was working on that could be related to their conversation.
